Default Cherries pierced

We have 4 cherry trees on our allotment, all on Giselle 5 rootstock so as
small as possible. This year is the first that we have had a good crop but,
besides those the mice have nibbled, a significant number of the fruit have
very small puncture holes, pin prick size, in them that then rot the fruit.
From the smell (and taste if you don't notice) it's as if they make the
fruit ferment internally. Anyone any idea what is doing this?
